As the owner or manager of a busy print shop, you know that you should carefully screen prospective and current employees. You need to know the relevant background of potential employees with whom you are going to trust your property and client data. You need to know that the employees who are operating your vehicles, presses, and other shop equipment are drug-free and physically capable of doing the job for which you’ve hired them or are anticipating hiring them.

That’s why we are pleased to offer another member benefit: a member discount for Employers Choice Online.  Employers Choice provides employment background screening and drug testing services for employers. They help employers reduce legal expenses and increase productivity and it’s done with no contracts, no set-up fees, minimums or monthly access charges.

Exclusive Group Buying Program for Association members with revenues under $5 million.

Graphic Media Alliance offers a group-buying program for companies with revenues under $5 million a year. The program capitalizes on the combined purchasing power of printers all across North America to realize discounts and rebates on LTL freight and small packages. A printer must be a member in good standing with the Association to qualify for this exclusive program.  

The program is offered through Independent Printers Alliance (IPA), a division of Independent Printers Worldwide, Inc. (IPW), a national procurement group specializing in superior vendor programs for independent printers. This type of supplier and product loyalty program offers a win-win solution with increased preferred supplier business and payback for a printer’s investment in Association membership. 

This program has greatly increased our offerings to smaller printer members, and we see it as a great tool for recruiting new members into our organization. This new IPA program expands our capability to reach the smaller and start-up printer.

Contact your BDD for more information on IPA.
